The best geek quotes that have ever existed.
David Lynch (January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025)
“WHAT?” That was my reaction to the death of David Keith Lynch. I was at home on the one real day off I had this week between recovering from a very bad cold, teaching, prepping and cleaning up after the vacation that was time spent with my family. I was about to take the laundry out of the washer when I saw the message on Facebook that he had died and all I could think to say (or at least type) was one loud blurt from the heart. And it seems appropriate now that the person who put that notice up happened to be one of my former media students. She seemed to understand his importance not just to me, but to a host of us suburban weirdos who could see what was bubbling under the surface of all that brown and grey.

The Reality of Fame: Lessons from Blake Lively's Journey
Over the past century, Hollywood has evolved from a hub for trailblazing women to a male-dominated industry. Given the high-profile cases that have revealed its misogynistic practices, it must address gender inequality. The existing system feeds a cycle of female exclusion and cultivates a toxic culture. In their lawsuit, Blake Lively claims that Justin Baldoni, the actor-director, acted improperly and made disparaging remarks about their 2024 film, It Ends With Us. It was an 80-page complaint that was first believed to be a public relations tactic to promote the movie. Given the high-profile cases that have revealed Hollywood's misogynistic practices, the industry needs to address gender inequality. By exposing misogynistic people and promoting women on and off screen, Hollywood can overcome its lengthy history of discrimination and alienation of women. Let's use Blake Lively's recent accusations to consider the subtleties of a toxic workplace and Hollywood's attitude toward women.
